3 x study of a subject! One of my favourite ways to study from reference, build a visual library and train memory. The first sketch is always just a copy of the reference, second is a study of the study and third from memory. #characterdesign #sketch #drawingpractice

A demo sheet from my character design for animation workshop I held the other week at Turku UAS. Notes & observations on the structure and design of eyes and eyebrows. The one thing that I think gives most life and personality to the eye area and expressions is asymmetry!
Happy 10 Years to @criticalrole.bsky.social Here's the fanart I've been working on to celebrate. You can find an 8K version on my website here: www.lappuncheung.com/personalwork... #criticalrolefanart
The trailer has dropped!! Wolf King coming to Netflix on March 20th! Was there from the very first pitch stages, working as an AD / Character Designer, before the show got greenlit. So exciting to see it come through and how stunning it looks. Main cast character designs by yours truly 😉✨

Remember that you have a voice as an artist, you have a history and opinions, aspirations. AI image generator doesn’t have that. It lacks specificity and depth that can only be expressed through the human experience.
I would suggest checking your speaker/headphone volumes before watching this one: The Ai Rant - Pearlmania youtu.be/p2RQeNQ-YpM

Uma’s found a quiet moment during midwinter festivities. That or she is just ignoring the mayhem around her. #sketch #ghibli #characterdesign
Lineup of the siblings with names! Growing up I loved the Peanuts comics & animated show and thought it'd be fun to do a homage of Pig-Pen with a character that's permanently filthy. I'm undecided if the lot should be quintuplets or twins + triplets. #characterdesign #animation #ghibli #conceptart
I'm starting a little keyframe series exploring five witchling siblings and their daily moments. Imagining what shenanigans this troop of toddlers with some simple magical powers could get up to 😅 Felt like I needed more Ghibli inspired stories in my life! #keyframe #conceptart #ghibli #animation
If my family were Ghibli characters! Wanted to draw something fun and relaxing 😌 #ghibli #animationart #womeninanimation #sketch
